Most of the Treecreepers are found in the Paleartic and Indomalaya Ecozones, from Western Europe to Japan and India. One species is found in North America from Alaska to Nicaragua and some distribution in sub-Saharan Africa and India. All Treecreepers are found in forest and woodland habitats.

The Brown-throated Treecreeper is also a regular in the mountains of Chiang Mai especially in Doi San Ju which is very to find. As we walked in the forest on the road sides in Doi San Ju, they just creep on the tree barks as they search for food. It was also quite difficult to shoot since this bird flies form one tree to another and when it’s on the trunk of one tree it will creep up or down like the Woodpeckers, plus the fog, taking photographs can always be challenging.
